Recruiting studies
- NCT06706453Enrolling by invitation

Long-term nose tube study for children with weak muscle tone
This study looks at the long-term safety and effectiveness of a nose tube (nasopharyngeal airway) for children who have obstructive sleep apnea due to weak muscle tone. It's for children who already used this device in a previous study.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 3–23 - NCT06609694Recruiting
Comparing oxygen delivery methods for children with sleep apnea
This study tests a new way to give oxygen to children aged 5-17 who have obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep). It aims to see if a demand oxygen delivery system works better than standard care. This could help children with Down syndrome who often have untreated sleep apnea.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 5–17 - NCT06594627Recruiting
Smart pillow study for better sleep with snoring or sleep apnea
This study tests a smart pillow device to see if it can improve sleep quality for people over 50 who snore or have mild sleep apnea. It also looks at how the pillow affects sleep partners.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 50 years+ - NCT06576830RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief study for kids having tonsil surgery
This study tests different ways to manage pain after tonsillectomy in children. The goal is to find better pain relief options.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 3–17 - NCT06566820Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term follow-up for sleep apnea study
This is a follow-up study for people with obstructive sleep apnea who have already completed two prior studies with the same medicine. The goal is to keep tracking your health and the medicine's effects over a longer time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06556693Recruiting
Study of a new device for severe sleep apnea
This study tests if a new device can help people with severe sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea). It may be an option if you have no or well-managed heart failure and are able to follow study procedures.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 22 years+ - NCT06564896Recruiting
Comparing sleep apnea treatments (CPAP vs alternatives)
This trial compares different positive airway pressure (PAP) machines to see which works best for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. If you have been diagnosed but haven't used a CPAP yet, this study may help find the best option for you.
Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT04130503Recruiting
Breathing device study after a recent ischemic stroke
This study looks at whether using a PAP breathing machine soon after an ischemic stroke helps sleep and recovery. It focuses on people who have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea diagnosed around the time of their stroke.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06477952RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Dronabinol for sleep apnea
This study tests whether dronabinol, a cannabis-like medicine, can help people with moderate sleep apnea breathe better at night. It may be an option for those who haven't found other treatments helpful.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 65 years - NCT04606693Recruiting
Screening for sleep apnea before heart rhythm ablation
This study looks at whether checking for sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) and treating it helps people prepare for atrial fibrillation ablation. It may help by improving outcomes for patients with atrial fibrillation who keep having episodes despite medication.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06413420Recruiting
Pregnancy registry for narcolepsy or sleep apnea treatments
This study tracks the health of pregnant women who have narcolepsy or sleep apnea, or who have taken certain wake-promoting medications during pregnancy. It helps researchers learn more about the safety of these treatments for mothers and babies.
Morrisville, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT06381115Recruiting
SleepWell24 app for new CPAP users
This study tests a smartphone app called SleepWell24 to help people with newly diagnosed sleep apnea stick with their CPAP therapy and improve their quality of life.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06380491RecruitingPhase 4
Melatonin for nighttime blood pressure in sleep apnea
This study tests whether melatonin can help lower nighttime blood pressure and improve sleep quality in people with obstructive sleep apnea who have 'non-dipping' blood pressure (blood pressure that stays high at night).
Mexico CityAges 18–60 - NCT06390345Recruiting
Telehealth lifestyle and exercise for COPD and sleep apnea
This study tests a telehealth program that combines lifestyle coaching and exercise to help people with both COPD and sleep apnea improve their breathing and daily function. It may be a good fit if you are overweight, have a history of smoking, and feel short of breath during light activity.
Boise, IdahoAges 18 years+ - NCT06372847Recruiting
Sleep apnea nerve stimulation study
This trial tests a nerve-stimulation implant for sleep apnea when other treatments haven't worked. It may help if you have moderate to severe apnea, a BMI under 32, and have tried CPAP and a mouth device without success.
Edegem, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT06336525Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for apnea?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 351 recruiting apnea studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a apnea trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a apnea trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
